What material is the Decksaver Ableton Push 2 Cover made from?

The cover is manufactured from extremely durable polycarbonate. This material is chosen for its impact resistance and longevity compared to standard plastics.

Will this cover fit the original Ableton Push 1 or the newer Push 3?

This specific model is engineered and custom-built specifically to fit the Push 2 controller. Because Decksaver products are precision-moulded to exact dimensions, they are generally not cross-compatible with different hardware iterations.

Do I need to unplug my cables to put the cover on?

No, the cover is precision-trimmed to accommodate cables. This allows the controller to remain connected to your computer or power supply while protected.

Does the cover protect against liquid spills?

Yes, the polycarbonate shell acts as a barrier against liquid ingress. It protects the sensitive pads and electronics from accidental spills in the studio or booth.

Is the cover transparent?

The cover features a smoked/clear finish. It is transparent enough to see the hardware underneath while having a slight tint for aesthetic purposes.

How much does the Decksaver for Push 2 typically cost?

The typical price range for this specific cover is approximately £38.00. Prices may vary slightly depending on the retailer and shipping costs.

Can I use this cover inside a carrying bag?

Yes, it is designed to slide straight into controller bags. This provides an extra layer of protection for the buttons and encoders against the pressure of other items in the bag.

Does it protect the screen of the Push 2?

Yes, the rigid polycarbonate shell covers the entire top surface of the unit, including the high-resolution display. This prevents scratches and impact damage to the screen.

Is this cover compatible with other Decksaver products?

While it shares the same design language as other Decksaver covers, each is custom-moulded for a specific device. It is part of a catalogue that includes covers for various synthesizers, mixers, and controllers.

How does this compare to a soft dust cover?

Unlike cloth or soft plastic covers, the Decksaver is rigid and impact-resistant. It provides structural protection against heavy objects being placed on top of the controller, which soft covers cannot do.

Does the cover snap onto the controller?

The cover is designed to fit snugly over the unit, staying in place via precise friction-fitting to the chassis. It does not require clips or latches to remain secure.

Is the polycarbonate finish easy to clean?

The smoked clear finish can be cleaned with a soft cloth and appropriate plastic cleaners. Users should avoid abrasive materials that might scratch the clear surface.

Overview

The Decksaver Ableton Push 2 Cover is a purpose-built protective accessory engineered to fit the exact contours of the Ableton Push 2 MIDI controller. It is part of a wider range of equipment covers that prioritise hardware longevity by shielding sensitive controls, such as pads, encoders, and displays, from environmental hazards when the device is not in active use.

Design and Construction

The cover is manufactured using high-quality polycarbonate, a material known for its extreme durability and impact resistance. It features a 'smoked clear' aesthetic, allowing the user to view the hardware beneath the shell. Each unit is precision-trimmed to ensure a snug fit that does not interfere with rear-panel connections, allowing cables to remain plugged in while the cover is seated.

Functionality and Protection

Designed for both studio and mobile applications, the Decksaver protects against several common forms of equipment damage:

Dust and Particulates: Prevents debris from settling between pads and under encoders.
Liquid Ingress: Offers a shield against accidental spills.
Physical Impact: Absorbs shocks and prevents scratches to the screen and chassis.
Cable Management: The design accommodates connected cables so the unit is always ready for immediate operation.

Application and Portability

For the travelling producer, the Decksaver adds a layer of rigidity that is often missing from soft-sided gig bags. Because it adds minimal bulk to the controller's footprint, the covered unit can typically slide directly into most third-party controller bags or backpacks, offering 'hardshell' protection within a soft carry case.

Comparison to Alternatives

Unlike universal cases or generic bags, such as the Latin Percussion LP Cajon Bag or Gear4music Rock Fusion Drum Bag Set, the Decksaver is non-flexible and form-fitted. While traditional cases like the BAM Artisto Oblong Violin Case provide total enclosure for transport, the Decksaver is designed specifically for 'on-desk' protection and quick-access storage, filling a niche distinct from traditional instrument luggage.
